can never knowwhat is on his wife's mind because the makeup of his and her mentality is different. Hiswife Irene, whose mind is romantically inclined, is disgusted with her huXand'spossessiveness.

It is beautiful,but malignant at the same time.It also represents the tremendous organic vitality of the universe,for it has a life force that surges onward irresistibly, impervious to the desires or wills of men.C.As to the reader, the whale can be viewed as a symbol of the physical limits that lifeimposes upon man. It may also be regarded as a symbol of nature, or an instrument of God's vengeance upon evil man. In general,the multiplicity and ambivalence of the symbolic meaning of the whale is such that it becomes a source of intense speculation, an object or profound curiosity for the reader.48.A.The Oversoul is believed to be an all-pervading power for goodness,omnipresent andomnipotent from which all things come and of which all are a part.

The theme of the novel may be best summed in a word “freedom〞: Huck wants to escape fromthe bond of civilization and Jim wants to escape from the yoke of slavery.

Being unable to read his wife's mind is as good as saying that he really can't regard her as his property- this is the very reason why he is enraged beyond measure.42.A.T.S.Eliot:“The Love Song of J.Alfred Pruforck.〞B.The ends of cigarettes,meaning trivial things here.C.Here,Prufrock's inability to do anything against the society he is in is made strikingly clear by using a sharp comparison .Prufrock imagines himself as a kind of insect pinned on the wall and struggling in vain to get free.This image vividly shows Prufrock's current predicament.43.A.Washington Irving:“Rip Van Winkle〞.B.The social environment is changed.C.When Rip is back home after a period of 20 years,he finds thta everything has changed.Allthose old values are gone,and he can hardly feel at home in a changed society.One of the functions that Rip serves in the story is to provide a measuring stick for change. It is through him that Irving drives home the theme that a desire for change,improvement,and progress could subvert stable society.44.A.Robert Frost:“The Road Not Taken〞.B.Many many years later.C.The speaker is telling his experience of making the choice of the roads.But he is conscious of the fact that his choice will have made all the difference in his life.He seems to be giving a suggestion to the reader.“Make good choice of your life.〞Ⅲ.Questions and Answers (24 points in all,6 for each)45.A.Buyan's pilgrim's Progress and Spenser's The Faerie Queene.B.It is usually concerned with moral ,religious,political,symbolic or mythical ideas.46.A.The French philosopher,Jean Jacques Rousseau and the German writer Johna Wolfgan von Goethe.B.It is Rousseau who established the cult of the individual and championed the freedom of the human spirit;his famous announcement was “I felt before I thought.〞Goethe and his compatriots extolled the romantic spirit.47.A.To Ahab,the whale is either an evil creature itself or the agent of an evil force that controls the universe,or perhaps both.B.To Ishmale,the whale is an astonishing force,an immense power,which defies rational explanation due to a sense of mystery it carries. It is beautiful,but malignant at the same time. It also represents the tremendous organic vitality of the universe,for it has a life force that surges onward irresistibly, impervious to the desires or wills of men.C.As to the reader, the whale can be viewed as a symbol of the physical limits that life imposes upon man. It may also be regarded as a symbol of nature, or an instrument of God's vengeance upon evil man. In general,the multiplicity and ambivalence of the symbolic meaning of the whale is such that it becomes a source of intense speculation, an object or profound curiosity for the reader.48.A.The Oversoul is believed to be an all-pervading power for goodness,omnipresent and omnipotent from which all things come and of which all are a part. It exists in nature and manalike and constitutes the chief element of the universe.B.According to Emerson,it is a supreme reality of mind, a spiritual unity of all beings, and a religion regarded as an emotional communication between an individual soul and the universal Over-soul of which it is a part.C.He holds that intuition is a more certain way of knowing than reason and that the mind could intuitively perceive the existence of the Oversoul and of certain absolutes.Ⅳ.Topic Discussion (20 points in all, 10 for each)49.a.Neoclassicists upheld that artistic ideals should be order,logic,restrained emoticon and accuracy,and that literature,should be judged in terms of its service to humanity,and thus,literary expressions should be of proportion,unity,harmony and grace.Pope's An Essay on Criticism advocates grace,wit (usually though satire/humour),and simplicity in language(and the poem itself is a demonstration of those ideals,too);Fielding's Tom Jones helped establish the form of novel;Gray's “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' displays elegance in style,unified structure,serious tone and moral instructions.b.Romanticists tended to see the individual as the very center of all experience,including art,and thus,literary work should be “spontaneous overflow of strong feelings,〞and no matter how fragmentary those experiences were (Wordsworth's “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,〞or “The Solitary Reaper,) or Coleridge's “Keble Khan〞),the value of the work lied in the accuracy of presenting those unique feelings and particular attitudes.c.In a word, Neoclassicism emphasized rationality and form but Romanticism attached great importance to the individual's mind (emotion, imagination, temporary experience…) 50.A.Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a Sequa to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.The Story takes place along the Mississippi River before the Civil War in the United States, around 1850.Along the river, floats a small raft, with two people on it; One is an ignorant,uneducated black slave named Jim and the other is little uneducated outcast white boy about the age of thirteen, called Huckleberry Finn or Huck Finn.The novel relates the story of the escape of Jim from slavery and ,more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with Jim and helping him as best he could, changes his mind ,his prejudice, about Black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friends as well.During their journey, they experience a series of adventures:coming across two frauds, the “Duke〞and the “King〞,witnessing the lynching and murder of a harmless drunkard, being lost in a fog and finally Tom's coming to rescue.B. The theme of the novel may be best summed in a word “freedom〞: Huck wants to escape from the bond of civilization and Jim wants to escape from the yoke of slavery. Mark Twain uses the raft's journey down the Mississippi River to express his thematic contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization.。

Later, this literary and cultural movement continued into the 1960s. The Beat Generation must not be confused with the Lost Generation of writers. Spokesmen and representatives of the Beat Generation were Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and others. They revolted against an America that was materialistic, belligerent and frustrating; social, intellectual and sexual freedom was advocated; and traditional culture and normal social behavior were attacked and violated. Many of the Beats were drug addicts wearing long hair and dirty clothes; and they were fond of slangs and jazz. Masterpieces created by writers of this group include Kerouac's On the Road and Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems, which were regarded as the pocket Bibles of that generation.[论述题]What is black humor?参考答案：Black humor: a term frequently used in modern literary criticism. It is sometimes called "black comedy” or "tragic farce.” It is humor or laughter resulting from great pain, despair, horror and the absurdity of human existence. Black humor is a common quality of modern anti-novels and anti-plays. Examples are Franz Kafka's stories "Metamorphosis,” "The Castle” and "The Trial”; Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22; and Albee's play The Zoo Story. Other writers who did much contribution to the popularity of black humor were Beckett, Camus, Ionesco, V onnegut, Pynchon, and so on.第四次作业[论述题]What is the Jazz Age?参考答案：Jazz Age: Jazz is a form of dance music that is derived from early Afro-American folk music, ragtime, and Negro blues. It is marked with exciting rhythm, pronounced syncopation, and constant improvisation. The musical instruments used are mainly drums, trumpets, and saxophones. Major composers of Jazz music include Irvin Berlin and W. C. Handy. The term Jazz Age was specifically employed by F. Scott Fitzgerald to denote the 1920s, which was characterized by the loss of traditional moral standards; indulgence in romantic yearnings; and great social excitement.[论述题]What is blank verse?参考答案：Blank verse: poetry that does not rhyme but has iambic pentameter lines. Though not originated in England or America, it has been the most important and most widely used English verse form. Blank verse is popular because it is closest to the rhythm of daily English speech. Thus most English poems which are dramatic, reflective or narrative are in the form of blank verse. This verse was probably first used in England by Surrey who translated Aeneid, by Sackville and Norton who composed Gorboduc. It was developed and perfected by Marlowe, Shakespeare and Milton. In the 18th century, most poets favored heroic couplets, but Young and Thomson were able to write in the tradition of blank verse. The 19th century saw a renewed interest in this poeticform. Masters of blank verse included Wordsworth, Coleridge and Bryant. The fact that blank verse is still practiced by writers like T. S. Eliot, Yeats, Frost and Stevens shows how influential and favorable it really is.第五次作业[论述题]What is free verse?参考答案：Free verse: It is a form of poetry without rhyme, meter, regular line length, and regular stanzaic structure. It depends on natural speech for rhythm. Robert Frost compared it to the "playing [of] tennis with the net down.” Though it is much simpler and less restrictive than conventional poetry and blank verse, free verse does no mean "formlessness.” T. S. Eliot once said that "no verse is free for the man who wants to do a good job.”[论述题]What is the Lost Generation?参考答案：Lost Generation: A term invented by Gertrude Stein, it denotes a group of writers after the First World War. They were characterized with their loss of ideals and values resulting from the War and other social evils. When talking with Hemingway, Stein said: "You are all a lost generation.” Hemingway later used it as a preface to his novel The Sun Also Rises, the hero of which is often referred to as the archetype of the generation. Other major representatives of the Lost Generation were F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hart Crane, Louis Bromfield, and Malcolm Cowley. These writers had either participated in the War or lived for a long time in Europe. Disillusioned and disenchanted, they were anti-traditional, cynical, desperate, and hedonistic. The term is sometimes used for those killed in the War and those who survived it but could not find their spiritual belonging.第六次作业[论述题]What is stanza?参考答案：Stanza: One of the major divisions of a poem consisting of lines grouped together, characterized by a common pattern of rhyme, meter, and line length. Stanzas can be units of thought in a poem much like paragraphs in prose. The term "verse paragraph” is sometimes used if the forms of the stanzas are entirely irregular and the lengths of the stanzas vary. The stanzas of a poem are set off by white space.[论述题]What is imagery?参考答案：Imagery:When Simonides declared that "Painting is silent poetry, poetry is eloquent painting,” he must have meant that good poems should have not only musical qualities, but also pictorial qualities (qtd. in Partington 648). He seemed to have implied that the language of poetry should make frequent use of imagery. Horace said that "Poems are like pictures” (75). Sidney echoed by saying that poetry is a "speaking picture; with this end: to teach and delight” (138). Henry Home in Elements of Criticism warns against "abstract and general terms” (qtd. in Partington 385). Poetic language, according to Lord Kames, is that which isspecific, concrete, sensuous, and imagery-bearing. Images are "the life of poetry” (qtd. in Partington 385). In The Poetic Image, C. D. Lewis defines image as "a picture made out of words.” R. H. Fogle in The Imagery of Keats and Shelley calls it "the sensuous elements in poetry.” So an image is the use of language to represent objects and other things which appeal primarily to one or all of the senses. It is often more than a "mental picture.”。

Please give brief answers to each of the following questions in English (40 points, 20 points for each).1.Give a brief analysis of the relation Between Heathcliff and Catherine in EmilyBronte’s masterpiece Wuthering Heights.The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is the most beautiful, most tense and at the same time the most horrible passion. They fall in love for their mutual love of the moor, the sublime beauty and wilderness on it. And their love takes the feature of the moor. However when Catherine betrays her heart as well as their love and marries Linton, Heathcliff runs away. When they meet again, Catherine is trapped by her fidelity to her husband and her love towards Heathcliff, which finally brings her death. After her death, Heathcliff turns into a demonic figure and takes revenge crazily, but his love towards Catherine remains unchanged.Finally, he sees her ghost and starves himself to death in the ghost house. The souls of the two at last unite.This love between Heathcliff and Catherine experiences the tow worlds of this life and after life, and it is totally spiritual. It takes Romantic feature and can only exist and survive in that particular circumstance.2.Give a brief analysis of Huck, a character in Mark Twain’s Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn, and discuss the social importance of the characterization of this character.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the best known for Mark Twain’s wonderful characterization of “Huck”. Huck is a typical American Boy with “a sound heart and a deformed conscience”. He appears to be vulgar in language and in manner, but he is honest and decent in essence. His remarkable raft’s journey down the Mississippi river, which Twain used both realistically and symbolically to shape his book into an organic whole, can also be regarded as his process of education and his way to grow up. On the whole, he is the son of nature and a symbol for freedom and earthly pragmatism.Through the eyes of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed. Twain thematically contrasts the life on the river and the life on the banks. These contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization best show the romantic quality in Twain’s writing.。
